Tyres on my P38

300AJC · Mar 24, 2011

I will need to get my P38 re-shod soon. It has a mixed bag of tyres at the moment as it was when I bought it. The current tyre spec is 235/70 R16 106H. I use the car every day all day on roads. I don't go off road but live in a rural area and want something good quality with a bit more grip and control in winter. Any suggestions please?

i live in the orkneys we have had a lot of snow this winter i use my p38 on and off road and find that general grabbers 255 65 16 all terrain 2 a good tire good grip at all times well priced

They always seem to catch my eye. I liked the look of the Pirelli Scorpion as well, but I think the Grabber edges it. Thanks for the feedback.

I would not recommend Pirelli Scorpion tyres as i fitted two last year and 1 did 15000 miles and got a blister and the other look worn out at about 20000 also i had a spare one that looked reasonably new but lasted 6000 before a sidewall failiare But 1 have had a Toyo open country on the vehicle that has done at least 32000 and still plenty of tread on it.

Thanks again ovalandrover. They look excellent too.

If you're out there ovalandrover; how do the Toyos do on the road? They look pretty heavy duty? Are they an all terrain or mainly off road tyre?

i'd go for the general grabbers but a little cheaper are the cooper discoverer at's which look meaty.

I have a set of Bridgestone fitted. 20000 miles later, they are still good. Couldn't find a good tyre that will last for 250000 miles plus with an unlimited guarantee for £50 a corner.

Wish I lived in Scouseland, all it would cost is the price of 4 breeze blocks and a pint down the Scotland Road !!
